Meridolum corneovirens
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Meridolum corneovirens faces severe population decline primarily due to habitat destruction from urban development and agricultural expansion across its limited range in southeastern Australia. The species is particularly vulnerable to forest clearing and fragmentation, which destroys the moist microhabitats essential for its survival. Climate change poses an additional threat through altered rainfall patterns and increased drought frequency, affecting the humid conditions this terrestrial gastropod requires.
Habitat
This terrestrial snail inhabits moist eucalyptus forests and woodland areas with dense leaf litter and fallen logs that provide the humid microenvironments it requires. The species is typically found in sheltered locations under bark, rotting wood, and among decomposing vegetation in temperate forest ecosystems.
